About The Owner/Trainer
Introducing...
My name is Abby and I am the owner and head trainer at No Bones About It Pet Care. I have over nine years of experience as a canine-trainer, including relationship-building, socialization, leash aggression (reactivity), separation anxiety, resource guarding, puppy training and off-leash reliability. Equipped with strong intuition, clear communication, and professional knowledge, I have experience dealing with a spectrum of dog temperaments, energy-levels, breeds, and ages. My specialties include working and rehabilitating fearful or feral dogs. Every dog is unique thus my technique and training style correspondingly differs depending on my assessment of a dog. My training techniques are varied; some are treat-based if I’m teaching a command but I use play as a form of training to tap into your dogs gentics and get the best out of them. I employ body language and physical pressure, a language dogs understand all too well, as tools to communicate, using a calm yet assertive demeanor.
I consider myself a “forever student” in the field of dog behavior and psychology, attending workshops and trainings throughout the year held by preeminent leaders in this sector. My passion is fueled by my desire to help build relationships between my clients and their dogs so that their “language” and needs, both physical and psychological, are communicated to their owners so that they can lead happy and healthy lives.
My dedication to helping my clients is unparalleled and I go above and beyond the call of duty. I facilitate and nurture strong bonds with every dog I work with by spending time building our relationship first so that I have a better understanding of the dog’s challenges. As in any relationship, trust is key and takes time to build and gain. While it does not happen overnight, it is possible through patience, consistency, and diligently working at the dog’s pace.
While it goes without saying, I am a life-long dog lover and rescuer, including my own three dogs. After a series of life-changing events while pursuing a music career in New York City, I adopted my first dog, Brooklyn, who subsequently changed my life and the lives of other dogs as my premier “helper” dog. When Brooklyn hit six months, he and I packed our things in 2013 and drove cross-country to Los Angeles, my hometown, and that was the beginnings of No Bones About It Pet Care.
